[ANN] WeatherReport.jl - A simple weather app for the Julia REPL

vnegi10 · January 3, 2024, 12:37pm

I am elated to announce WeatherReport.jl, a package that provides basic weather information right within the REPL. Your location is not tracked, therefore, you need to specify a city/town/village or latitude/longitude yourself. Most major locations (population > 500) around the world are supported.

Package has been in development for a while, and has already been registered. Weather data is obtained from Open-Meteo API, which is free for non-commercial use under the Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license.

Check out the documentation. More use cases, contributions and issues are welcome!

Example usage

For current weather conditions:

julia> show_current("Oslo")

To see a boxplot distribution of historical monthly data for a given year, use one of the
plot_box_* functions. For example, temperature can be visualized using plot_box_temp
as shown below:

julia> plot_box_temp("Mumbai", year = "2023")
                            Mumbai: Air temp. monthly distribution for 2023

Historical weather data can now be saved to a SQLite database. Check the help text for
export_to_sqlite function.

To compare monthly data over a given number of years, use one of the compare_box_*
functions. For example, temperature distribution can be visualized using compare_box_temp as shown below:

julia> compare_box_temp("Tokyo", num_years = 5, month = "June")
                    Tokyo: Air temp. comparison for June over last 5 years

This is a really neat package! I’m excited to try it out!

ufechner7 · January 3, 2024, 12:48pm

How can I get a list of the cities that are covered? How can I add my own city (Den Haag)?

aplavin · January 3, 2024, 1:20pm

Thanks, can be neat!

It is sometimes hard to choose the correct city though, if one doesn’t remember coordinates by heart (:

Maybe it’s better to show some more information?

Also, maybe the default choice should be “the most populous one”?

hmmm… if I remember correctly there is a system for Julia packages to locally store configuration options… it could be used to store the chosen location so that one can then call the various functions without the zone attribute…

In any case, great package… thank you…

Coordinates for all cities are loaded from a CSV file into a DataFrame. ‘The Hague’ is actually part of the list, but due to an incorrect logic applied to correct for capitalization in the name, it gets changed to ‘The hague’, which as expected is not found.

I have made an issue here and will fix it in the next release. Thanks for checking!

vnegi10 · January 3, 2024, 4:40pm

Perhaps looking at the timezone might help here? The cities database (population > 500) that I am using does have multiple locations/coordinates with the same name, which could indeed make things confusing sometimes.

To select a certain row, you can simply use the index from the list shown.

Sorting according to population is a cool idea, but finding all the data could be tricky. I will look around.

vnegi10 · January 3, 2024, 4:41pm

hmm, interesting. I didn’t think about that before. Also, thank you for the kind words!

aplavin · January 3, 2024, 4:44pm

Sure, but there are several Cambridges in each of the NewYork and Chicago time zones (: It was quite a popular name to give to a town back then…

vnegi10 · January 3, 2024, 4:44pm

Please do, and thank you for the kind words!

vnegi10 · January 3, 2024, 4:49pm

Yeah, that’s an issue. I was initially thinking of using a different database where cities have a higher population, for example 10000. But then you end up missing a lot of locations around the world.

vnegi10 · January 3, 2024, 4:56pm

haha, I prefer to stick to the metric system.

vnegi10 · January 4, 2024, 7:15am

‘The Hague’ is now correctly recognized in release v0.19.2. Since the database has names in English, ‘Den Haag’ is currently not supported.

Thanks for the quick fix!

dlshew19 · September 13, 2024, 9:54pm

Is it possible to save the data used to make the plots? For example can I get the data for plot_hourly_windspeed() as a dataframe? Sorry if this is simple I’ve been trying to figure it out for a while now.

vnegi10 · September 14, 2024, 9:18am

Hi, yes, it’s possible to export historical data as a sqlite database file. I made it this way so that the data can be easily ingested also by other languages. You can use the SQLite.jl package to read the database in case you decide to continue working in Julia.

Check out the help text:

help?> export_to_sqlite
search: export_to_sqlite

  Saves the hourly historical temperature, rain, snowfall, relative humidity, windspeed and solar data for a given city (between "startdate" and "enddate")
  to a SQLite database. Each of the weather variable is saved as a separate table. The database itself is saved to the "export" folder in the root of this
  repository.

  Arguments
  ≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡

    •  city::String : Valid city name, e.g. "Oslo", "Paris", "Amsterdam" etc.

    •  i_row::Int64 : In case of more than one match for a given location, select the desired timezone by providing the row index from the printed
       DataFrame. Default is set to 1.

    •  start_date::String : Starting day in ISO8601 date format, e.g. "2023-02-01"

    •  end_date::String : Ending day in ISO8601 date format, e.g. "2023-02-25"

  Optional keywords
  ≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡

    •  lat::Float64 : Geographical WGS84 coordinate of the location (°S < 0, °N > 0)

    •  long::Float64 : Geographical WGS84 coordinate of the location (°W < 0, °E > 0)

  Example
  ≡≡≡≡≡≡≡

  julia> export_to_sqlite("Veldhoven", start_date = "2022-01-01", end_date = "2022-01-31")
